Sunrise Fishing Trip

Oil tanks along the coast of Fujairah. Signage on the tanks showed that each tank held ~30k+ cubic meters.

Some of the many, many ships anchored about 6-8 kilometers off of the coast of Fujairah.

Today I went sea fishing. I watched the sun rise up out of the ocean as we made our way out onto the water. The initial attempt was trawling--one tuna (small) in an hour. As

we were trawling, we made our way all of the way out into the anchorage area where the ships await passage through the Straights of Hormuz or until their wares are ready for loading in the Fujairah area. The tankers are simply massive.

Fishing total for the day: one small tuna, one barracuda, one silver belt, eight red mullet, and six hammour. I selected a small sample for my dinner and the rest went to the staff for their families. It was a fun morning.
